- Click Create project.
- 2Upload proofs as usual
- Each proof starts at the first stage.
- 3Read the board
- The Review pipeline has one column per stage, then Approved.
- A card's column is its current stage.
- 4Open the proof's approvals
- Open the proof.
- In the sidebar, open Reviews, then choose Approvals.
- Done stages show a green tick. The current stage lists each reviewer as Approved (with a receipt ID) or Pending. Later stages say Locked.
- 5Check the record
- Choose Logs to see Decision logs: every approval and stage change, with its time.
Don't miss
- You choose the workflow when you create the project.
- There's no switch to add a workflow to an existing classic project.
You're done when
- You can say where the proof is, who it's waiting on, and what's been decided.
Good to know
- The badge on a board card depends on who is looking. Reviewers who need to act see Needs review. Others see the stage's approvals so far, for example Approved (1/2).

Put a workflow on a project, then follow any proof through it: where it is, who it's waiting on, and what's been decided. Start a new project and give it a name. Under How should proofs be reviewed, choose Workflow. Your team's workflow is picked for you. Check it's the right one, then click Create project. Upload proofs as usual. Each one starts at the first stage, and the board shows where every proof is now. Citrus Bloom is in Regulatory. Its badge counts this stage's approvals: one of two. Open the proof. In the Reviews tab, choose Approvals. Brand is complete. Regulatory is the current stage. Sarah has approved, and Leo is still pending. Print stays locked until Regulatory clears. Logs lists every decision, with its time and a receipt. A workflow is chosen when you create a project. There's no switch to add one to an existing classic project. You're done when you can say where a proof is, who it's waiting on, and what's been decided. Next: find what needs your review now.
